"Planted in 1946, our 0.18 hectare parcel of Morey-St-Denis is situated in the top part of the "En Très Girard" lieu-dit. This appellation is matured in new oak barrels and barrels previously used for one wine made from wood from the Allier and Nivernais regions. We favour light to medium-plus toasts as this ensures the perfect harmony between the wine and wood tannins. Its colour is deep garnet with purplish glints when this appellation is young. The bouquet, with black fruit, blackcurrant, blueberry, red stone fruit and a touch of vanilla, gives way to a fleshed vinous body presenting fruity, melted tannins and a harmonious woody nose. Morey-Saint-Denis offers a pleasant style that balances body strength and the expression of the fruit. Serving temperature: 16° to 18°C Matching food: Poultry liver salad, turkey with chestnut, ossau iraty" Drouhin-Laroze
"90% whole bunch vinification. Darker purple, the whole bunch effect shows riotously on the nose, joyously for those such as me who like them. They really lift the dark raspberry fruit, adding some strawberry notes with a little pepper and a fine long finish." Jasper Morris 90-93p
"Note: from a .18 ha parcel planted in 1946; vinified with 100% whole clusters Here too the nose is decidedly floral in character with additional notes of black cherry, cassis and warm earth. The middle weight flavors are not as dense or powerful though they are finer with good focus on the moderately austere and sneaky long finish. This balanced effort should repay mid-term cellaring." Burghound 89-91p
"The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Très Girard is 100% whole bunch, the stems introduced two vintages earlier. They do not appear to dominate the aromatics and remain in the background. Attractive white pepper and clove scents complement the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe, quite fleshy tannins for a Morey, sorbet-like freshness towards the finish with a touch of orange rind and marmalade. Very fine." Vinous 90p
